What struck me the most is the quantity of pieces and the quality of the masterpieces, without a doubt the best is the Sistine Chapel. I thought that when I bought the ticket, all I had to do was stand in line. I had not contemplated the time it would take me to go to the office across the street to validate the entrance and then cross the line and wait for the entrance.

The guide was very helpful and friendly. The time of entry was just right, as we didn't have to wait in queues and the guide took us to the right place with ease, explaining everything we needed to know.

We were able to skip the queue, which was great. In general, Castel Sant'Angelo is just a beautiful vantage point. The inside is rather empty. If you want to have a nice view of the Vatican City and the Tilber, you can do that. You can also watch a great sunset there. Value for money okay

Everything as booked. Nice guide , who could tell fun and knew a lot. Nice to be able to walk along the rows like this. Without a guide you wouldn't know how to walk.

Perfect, we picked up the tickets at the agency right next to the Vatican entrance and got in very quickly! Ideal for avoiding long queues 👍

Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel

Get skip-the-line access and priority entry as you bypass the long ticket lines and head straight inside the Vatican Museums. Your designated host will walk you to the museum’s entrance. Take your time to explore the museum and the Sistine Chapel. The Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel house some of the most exquisite works of art ever created. The Vatican Museums, which comprise 54 galleries, are home to the largest and most important collections of Renaissance art. See the Pigna Courtyard, Pius Clementino Museum, Candelabra Gallery, Tapestries Gallery, Raphael's Rooms, and others. The 15th-century walls and ceilings of the Sistine Chapel have some of the most incredible frescoes. The paintings in the Sistine Chapel date back to the 16th century. See Michelangelo's famous fresco of the Last Judgment and the Creation of Adam. The Sistine Chapel is also still used for religious purposes, such as the Papal Conclave, the process by which a new Pope gets chosen.

Castel Sant'Angelo

Italy's Castel Sant'Angelo is known as the "Castle of the Holy Angel." The mausoleum for Roman Emperor Hadrian was built here in 185, and it later served as a military structure and a haven for Popes during the sieges of 1527. You will gain an in-depth understanding of Roman history and architecture by exploring the castle, which is now a museum. Access the chamber of ashes and the cells where many historical figures were imprisoned, divided over five floors and connected by a spiral ramp. Along with an extensive collection of antique weapons, see the beautifully decorated rooms that served as the papal residence as you make your way up to the castle. Check out the top-floor terrace for stunning, panoramic views of Rome.
